    "ECHO MOSKVY" LAUNCHES AN ANTI-ARMENIAN CAMPAIGN

    Armenia

    "Echo Mpskvy" Russian radio station yesterday dedicated the one of
    its broadcasts to Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan. The campaign
    launched last evening by Alexander Boudberg, was full of all kinds
    of old and new labels, explicit hints and blunt demagogy.

    The insolent provocative tone of the program was not something new. The
    allegations on Shoushi being the "Azerbaijan's ancient capital", the
    hints on the Armenian President's biography being similar to that
    of African dictators, the tragic moment of praying to God during
    the Khodjalu massacres (organized with the active involvement of
    the Russian troops), allusions to former Armenia premier Andranik
    Margaryan's death unmasked the "well-informed" Editor-in-Chief of
    the broadcast and revealed the true image of the first-class radio
    station declaring its (and not only its) political preferences in an
    open and explicit manner.

    against the RA President for the country's possible participation
    in the NATO trainings in Georgia almost became a specific kind of

    considering President Sargsyabn's upcoming visit extremely difficult
    and stressing the importance of Russia's strategic partnership with
    Azerbaijan.

    The investigation into the RA President's personal life ended with
    Nikolay Toyitskiy's malicious statements expressing strong concerns to
    spoil his Russian by pronouncing the awkward surname. He was all the
    time sticking to the Communist past of the second and third Armenian
    Presidents (forgetting about Heydar Aliev's biography).

    Such propaganda is intended to convince the public that Azerbaijan,
    a country rich in energy resources and other reserves, will be a
    better strategic partner compared to Armenia. But there's one our
    Russian colleagues forget: the establishment of closer ties with Baku
    cannot bear a momentary and "instrumental" character for Azerbaijan
    seeking to achieve the settlement of the Karabakh conflict the way
    it desires. And it's quite possible that those who
